Superposition / by Walton, David,1975-(CARDINAL)496990;
"A QUANTUM PHYSICS MURDER MYSTERY. Book One of a Mind-Bending, Near-Future, Science Fiction Technothriller Duology. Jacob Kelley's family is turned upside down when an old friend turns up, waving a gun and babbling about an alien quantum intelligence. The mystery deepens when the friend is found dead in an underground bunker apparently murdered the night before he appeared at Jacob's house. Jacob is arrested for the murder and put on trial. As the details of the crime slowly come to light, the weave of reality becomes ever more tangled, twisted by a miraculous new technology and a quantum creature unconstrained by the normal limits of space and matter. With the help of his daughter, Alessandra, Jacob must find the true murderer before the creature destroys his family and everything he loves. "-- Provided by publisher.

Beyond weird : why everything you thought you knew about quantum physics is different / by Ball, Philip,1962-author.(CARDINAL)207976;
Includes bibliographical references and index.No one can say what quantum mechanics means (and this is a book about it) -- Quantum mechanics is not really about the quantum -- Quantum objects are particle (but sometimes neither wave nor they might as well be) -- Quantum particles aren't (but sometimes they in two states at once might as well be) --"Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it." Since Niels Bohr said this many years ago, quantum mechanics has only been getting more shocking. We now realize that it's not really telling us that "weird" things happen out of sight, on the tiniest level, in the atomic world: rather, everything is quantum. But if quantum mechanics is correct, what seems obvious and right in our everyday world is built on foundations that don't seem obvious or right at all--or even possible. An exhilarating tour of the contemporary quantum landscape, Beyond Weird is a book about what quantum physics really means--and what it doesn't. Science writer Philip Ball offers an up-to-date, accessible account of the quest to come to grips with the most fundamental theory of physical reality, and to explain how its counterintuitive principles underpin the world we experience. Over the past decade it has become clear that quantum physics is less a theory about particles and waves, uncertainty and fuzziness, than a theory about information and knowledge--about what can be known, and how we can know it. Discoveries and experiments over the past few decades have called into question the meanings and limits of space and time, cause and effect, and, ultimately, of knowledge itself. The quantum world Ball shows us isn't a different world. It is our world, and if anything deserves to be called "weird," it's us.Everything you experience is a (partial) copy of what causes it -- Schrödinger's cat has had kittens -- Quantum mechanics can be harnessed for technology -- Quantum computers don't necessarily perform 'many calculations at once' -- There is no other 'quantum' you -- Things could be even more 'quantum' than they are (so why aren't they)? -- The fundamental laws of quantum mechanics might be simpler than we imagine -- Can we ever get to the bottom of it?What happens' depends on what we find out about it -- There are many ways of theory (and none of them interpreting quantum quite makes sense) -- Whatever the question, the answer is 'Yes' (unless it's 'No') -- Not everything is knowable at once -- The properties of quantum objects don't have to be contained within the objects -- There is no 'spooky action at a distance' -- The everyday world is what quantum becomes at human scales --
